Core i5-12500T vs EPYC 74F3 specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the EPYC 74F3 beats the Core i5-12500T in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-12500T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the EPYC 74F3 has significantly more cores with 9 cores compared to the Core i5-12500T that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-12500T. With our hardware info, we find that the EPYC 74F3 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-12500T. A Core i5-12500T CPU outputs less heat than a EPYC 74F3 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i5-12500T has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the EPYC 74F3. Despite this, the EPYC 74F3 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-12500T.
Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i5-12500T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
